Chuck Schumer: The nomination of Leonard Grasz is indicative of the new Republican playbook: if you don't like the message, shoot the messenger. If you don't like what the @ABAesq is saying about your judicial candidates, call it partisan – even if you praised its judgment just months ago.

PM May: We're not talking about paying for access in the future. Maybe for certain areas e.g. justice and home affairs areas where it makes sense for the UK to operate.
